With driving drum beats, catchy hooks, and relatable lyrical content, Halifax-based group, Troy Alistair, is coming in swinging with captivating and energetic performances. Blurring the lines between rock, funk, rap, and pop, their upbeat and dance-worthy songs fit perfectly with their “work hard, play hard” mentality. Encouraging listeners to stand up for what they believe in, and let go of their inhibitions to shake their bodies and have fun. Troy Alistair has been releasing several singles from their new ablum, attracting the gaze of local music critics. The full self-titled debut album is set for release in early 2021.
Carrying on with his love of rock and hip-hop, frontman Taran Guest is no stranger to the musical scene on the East Coast. As a founding member of the group BROTHERS, he has spent the past few years honing his sound and songwriting abilities as the band toured behind their first full-length album, Zebra. Guest has enlisted a crew of local musicians to bring Troy Alistair to life, forming a tight-knit group.
Mixing the classic east coast riff-rock sound with some rap, the track (Jump the Gun) is upbeat and dance-worthy, fitting perfectly with the band’s aim to just have fun and get silly.
